This article is another painful example of the prevailing anti-cycling bias in the media and law enforcement, implying the deceased was automatically at fault because of the color of his clothes and his unilluminated bike. Certainly those things may have made the cyclist less visible, but there’s more to this tragedy that what’s been shown.

Nowhere does the article examine who had the right of way or how fast the motorist was traveling. Because what’s more important is that the police “believe” he was a transient — as if that preliminary assumption has got anything to do with the accident.
